@bagel-le-stinky you are right, sorry, now i remember that you dont have to rename the chd-file, but have to put it in a folder named like the rom-file.
If you rename your chd file back it should work;)

I'd swear I did that... must have missed it. Will do first thing in the morning. :)

EDIT: I just did the update. All good. Thanks @mitu !

@folly said in How to run PC-8801 games?:

If you still want to use the filenames of the second column then rename the disk.rom to N88SUB.ROM.

That fixed it! Many thanks :)

I just went ahead and added a hot-key button on the arcade cabinet. I really did not want it on the control deck. So I decided to cut a hole under the control deck.
Nice thing about adding it there is that it's thin as hell and easy to cut through.

@dankcushions Thanks, I'll look in that way. I wasn't aware of the use of shaders so far :-)

@exarkuniv Ok now I feel extremely stupid for not thinking about this before. But because I'm probably not the only one, I figured I'd post this info in case others run into the same thing. After wasting more than half a day trying different HDMI configurations and editing the config file a million times, I realized that by plugging in HDMI 1 into the lcd controller and using HDMI 0 as the output source for a bigger TV, the pi will always check HDMI 0 first for signal and if it doesn't find one, then it goes to HDMI 1. So in other words, no need for an HDMI switch or splitter. Man I feel so stupid but at least the problem is solved now.

Apologies for the thread necromancy but I was running into a similar problem as the OP using EmulationStation on Windows; emulators weren't launching for some reason even though they worked fine when I ran them manually. I found this thread and tried making sure I was using full paths & %ROM_RAW% and etc., and the emulators still just weren't launching. I was just about to give up when, when I had the thought that perhaps the space in the directory name my emulators were in might be mucking things up and sure enough--I renamed the directory without a space and everything worked! I wanted to add to this thread in case anyone else came along hitting the same brick wall, hope it helps.

@goombah111 said in Certain menus not displaying correctly.:

Does this help run games faster?

No.

Does it add/take away from other applications?

Yes, since the VRAM is allocated from the main memory.

@irob the hierarchy is explained here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/22816/guide-retroarch-system-emulator-core-and-rom-config-files

this also explains how to reset back to retropie's default configs (which, as you've found is quite different from retroarch's)

@jimi007 said in Speedball 2 CD32 DOS error 103 not enough memory:

Z3_RAM=16

Thanks @Jimi007. I've merged the change and added more Z3. On the next xml update (usually end of week) it should be taken into account.

@mitu No errors:

Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done. Checking objects: 100% (35216/35216), done.

@jamrom2 thank you so much for trying to help me. it seems 5200 emulation just isn't in the cards for me.

I actually found the old image had backed up on a card in a drawer. I booted it up and 5200 worked without a hitch. I figured, jackpot, I'll just transfer the settings and configs to my current image. no dice.

short of finding a pre-converted 5200 romset somewhere I don't think it's going to work out.

@mitu That worked! Thanks a million

@jimmyfromthebay If you're into computers as long as I (starting with a Commodore 64 in the mid eighties), cables are among the first ususal suspects for any kind of strange effects. 👾👻💩

Glad that it worked for you. Have fun with RetroPie!

@mitu

Okay then. At the very least the info in the thread should help me out.

No hard feelings BTW.

@sleve_mcdichael I just figured it using rasp control app.

@jimi007 Ok, so, I was an OG Amiga user. I had a 500, 2000, and a 3000. Amiga was made long before any console has force feedback of any kind. So, why would there be any vibration response in any Amiga game ever?

I guess I am trying to figure out why you are expecting vibration from a system that never had it. It just seems on par with expecting stereo surround sound from an Atari 2600.

@roslof @mitu

Thanks for exploring this one - I assumed that my RetroPie upgrade had overwritten my retroarch.cfg files. The advice here has fixed my missing shaders in my install (a 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS install).

Running and updating the setup script, navigating
P Manage packages
C Core
43 Retroarch
U Re-install (from source)
has fixed the problem for me.
